Walmart slashed the price of the Beats Studio 3 with a $221 discount for its Prime Day deals, but you can still get the wireless headphones for that much cheaper even after the shopping holiday has ended. They’re still down to a very affordable $129 from their original price of $350, so it appears that Walmart is trying to offload all its stock of the wireless headphones. That may happen sooner than you expect though, so if you’re interested in this bargain, you need to complete the purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Beats Studio 3 wireless headphones

Beats is one of the most popular names for wireless headphones, and you’ll be able to see why with the Beats Studio 3. They will let you listen to your favorite playlists and watch streaming shows with excellent sound quality, and they offer pure adaptive noise canceling technology so that you won’t be disturbed by what’s going on around you. The wireless headphones are powered by Apple’s W1 chip, which enables a battery life of up to 22 hours with ANC activated and up to 40 hours with the feature deactivated. The chip also makes pairing the Beats Studio 3 with Apple devices extremely easy, but of course they’re also compatible with other Bluetooth devices.

The long battery life of the Beats Studio 3 headphones means you can wear them for extended periods of time. That won’t get uncomfortable thanks to their soft over-ear cushions that provide advanced venting and ergonomic pivoting, so you’ll stay comfortable even if the wireless headphones have been on your head for several hours.

If you weren’t able to take advantage of headphone deals during Prime Day, the good news is that there are still some amazing offers available — and one of our favorites is the Beats Studio 3 at $221 off from Walmart. They’re down to only $129, which is less than half their original price of $350, but probably not for much longer. We can’t tell how much time is remaining before this bargain disappears, so you’re going to have to proceed with the transaction as soon as possible if you want to get the Beats Studio 3 wireless headphones for this cheap.

Stop joining group projects with a blurry laptop webcam and buy one of these instead

Your laptop webcam is sabotaging your first impression. These five can fix it

I'm holding my Logitech C920 1080p webcam in my hands.

The webcam built into your laptop might be good enough for a quick call with friends and family. But its shortcomings become much harder to ignore when you are presenting a semester project, interviewing for an internship, or maybe if you're planning to stream for fun.

Laptop cameras also tend to sit far too low, especially when the computer is placed directly on a desk. Meanwhile, a dedicated webcam lets you position the camera closer to eye level. This improves the framing and brings larger sensors, better microphones, and more effective low-light processing.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one

Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible

Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim

Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.
